| Résumé : |
For centuries Asian Christians have struggled with relating their faith in Jesus Christ to their religious world so that their faith may be both truly Christian and truly Asian. Their attempts to identify with and belong to the context of Asian religions come up against expressions of power - especially missionary power and colonial power. In belonging to the world of Asian peoples and in identifying with the struggles for fullness of life of the poor of Asia, they face the contentious relationship between plurality and power.
The Lotus and the Sun tracks the various ways in which Asian Christians have responded to this task. Though the discussions are located in Asia, in taking an ecumenical rather than a narrowly confessional or denominational approach, this book is an invitation to all who are engaged in similar struggles to dialogue with Asian Christians, who have resisted and continue to resist expressions of power to affirm that plurality that is intrinsic to God’s creation. |
